If you do other metal work (railing for the walk and stuff like that) I'd be interested in talking about some other stuff I'd like to get done for my house. Hard to find people who do quality work and take pride in what they do.

I've only done one big commissioned piece before. It was a double archway for a cemetery driveway. I was given almost a year to do it in my spare time. I didn't even keep up with my time on it, I just made them a price and they agreed to it. They were so happy they gave me a $500 bonus after I installed it. I don't think I'd feel comfortable doing anything that big right now. Man the shipping on something like railing would be crazy. Most railings now are made out of square tubing and shaped on a machine. I only use solid steel and hand form it. If this job at the brewery don't work out I will probably go back to doing this full time, if that happens I'd love to do something like that again.
Thanks
J.R.

I know someone in the Denver area who does pretty amazing custom metal work...cool dude, I don't think he hand forges, though. Let me know if you want info.

Link no work! Nooo.

Would you be able to make one similar to your ram's head one but with upward horns for a Darkness bottle?

I would very, very much like to be put in line for one (or more depending on price) of these please!

How should I go about submitting a request/style desired?

Just did a photo shoot for a local rag on my blacksmithing. I play around with photography myself but could never take this shot alone. I had dude take my camera and take these shots for me after I set them up.

It's fine, because both of you are behind me.

I've been on the "list" since last Hunaphu Day, when I ran around frantically trying to find hotmetal for 2 hours. Ghost Whælz mane.

I like where this is going.

I'm about to start a google doc to sign-up for openers. You will be able to add you name and style you want. Once I make about 20 more openers I'll post the link to the doc.

Smoke is hangin' low today with this cold front coming through.

I have a plane ticket and a ticket to Huna day but I also have National Guard drill that weekend and it don't look like they are going to let me off, so it's still up in the air.

 

[mixed_master7]

Hope it works out!
